The Most Astonishing Joy Is

Most Poets In Their Youth Begin In Adolescent Sadness. I Find It More Rewarding To End In Gladness.

I Tried To Stir The Imagination And Enthusiasms Of Students To Take Risks, To Do What They Were Most Afraid Of Doing, To Widen Their Horizons Of Action.

The Quietest Poetry Can Be An Explosion Of Joy.

My Major Aim In Writing Is To Set Out Flags And Issue Wake-up Calls.

And To Shakespeare I Owe My Vision Of The World As A Theater, Wherein All Humans Are Acting Out Their Parts.
